WHEN it comes to heartthrobs, Nick Knowles might not be the first name that springs to mind for many women.
He's openly admitted to being a workaholic, struggles with flat-pack furniture, and has even faced criticism for reportedly calling women in the North East "munters."

Yet, with a string of glamorous exes, four children with three different women, and now a wife 28 years his junior, the 62-year-old must be doing something right.
Last week, Nick tied the knot with his fiancée, Katie Dadzie, 34, a lingerie entrepreneur, in a stunning ceremony at the luxurious Braxted Park Estate in Essex.
The DIY SOS star and mum-of-two were all smiles as they posed outside the grand country house - rumoured to have cost six figures - with Katie turning heads in a striking blue and white gown.
But will it all be as perfect as it seems?
A source suggests Katie may need to be cautious.
'Obviously he's been married before, he's got kids, but he's never really settled down, has he?' she said.
'He's been with some beautiful and intelligent women – long-term partners like Suzi Perry – and had some stunning girlfriends, but he always manages to f*** it up because he goes for the next shiny object.'
Before his TV fame, Nick was married to Gillian, the mother of two of his children, Tuesday, 26, and Charlie, 27.
After their split, he dated beauty therapist Paula Beckett-Vass for two years, and they welcomed a son, Tyrian-J.

In 2000, Nick began a relationship with TV and radio presenter Suzi Perry, but the couple split three years later.
He then met his second wife, Jessica Moor, in 2009.
They married in September 2012 and welcomed a son, Edwin, two years later, but separated in January 2016.
Nick was also linked to Emmerdale actress Gemma Oaten after they were spotted looking cosy at the TV Choice Awards, with the pair later enjoying a romantic getaway to Edinburgh.
Back in the day when I knew him, Nick was a champion of sh***ers
But is this marriage destined for a happy ending?
The source remains doubtful.
'I reckon she's probably given him an ultimatum like, 'Marry me.' He'll probably go along with it until the next shiny penny comes along in a year's time when he's bored of the sex – because, let's be honest, being in a relationship gets boring,' she said.
'I don't think marriage is going to be the thing that settles him down. It's just a piece of paper that he knows he can get out of.
'He's not the kind of person who wants longevity – he's got a wandering eye. He's very sexy, a red-blooded male, and he makes it very obvious.
'There's no denying that if he has eyes for you, he'll make sure you're aware of it.

'That's the impression I got with him… he'll do things like tell you what room number he's staying in without you even asking. He'll say it as a joke, but you know he's being serious.'
The pair "hooked up" because they were working on a TV production together.
"We were all out for drinks and he was very flirty, making eye contact, very flirty and let me know which room he was staying in," she said.
She also explained that Television sets - especially on location - often involves a lot of the staff sleeping with each other.
"Sh***ing while on location is incredibly common," she explained.
"It happens all the time. The cameramen, sound recordists, even the talent, and contributors you make the shows with.
He is very charming and he is lovely to talk to. Although he's a bit cocky, he is a nice guy
"It happens all the time. And yes, married men, yes, single men, people that have got girlfriends.
"It is prolific - particularly because you're on location all the time. You're away from home. Staying in a hotel makes it so much easier."
The source warned Katie to be wary when Nick is away filming.
She said: 'Back in the day when I knew him, Nick was a champion of sh***ers.
"I slept with him while out on location, and there's no way anyone could find out. He was single at the time.
'You might think you can call him at 9pm and check up on him, but someone could easily sneak into his room at 3am and leave by 6am.

'If he's going to do it, he's going to do it – and he'll always attract women because he's on telly.
"I was attracted to his swagger, confidence and he's a good looking bloke. Everybody fawned over him.
"Whilst I pretended I wasn't interested, of course I was flattered and I was young and thought lets go for it.
"If I went back now knowing what I know, I'd probably still do it because, you know, you're flattered and you're like, well, 'why not? I'm single, I can do what I want, can't I? '
"With Nick and I, it was a buildup of us working together over time with a lot of flirtation.
"He is very charming and he is lovely to talk to. Although he's a bit cocky, he is a nice guy.
He's got something about him, and he bloody knows it. He's a peacock
'I think just needs to watch for the warning signs. From my experience, we didn't swap numbers, there was no texting – it all happened on location, leaving no trace.
'I've slept with him and got away scot-free.'
She continued: 'He's not someone who can truly settle down – I just don't think it's in his nature.
'I'd advise her to keep an eye on him. You can't stop someone from cheating, but remember – a leopard never changes its spots.
'She might have brought him down the aisle, but that doesn't mean he'll change.
'He's got something about him, and he bloody knows it. He's a peacock.'
Fabulous have approached Nick's representatives for a comment.

Kerry Katona's boyfriend denies that star 'stole him' from another woman
Kerry Katona's blossoming romance with her match on Celebs Go Dating has been cast into doubt after a woman has come forward alleging she was still involved with him while the show was being filmed Kerry Katona 's new relationship with Celebs Go Dating contestant Paolo Margaglione has been rocked by allegations from a woman who claims he was still romantically involved with her during the filming of the show – which he denies. Jessica Smith, a 25-year-old warehouse manager from Yorkshire, claims she was dating Paolo and was unaware he had joined the E4 dating series where he met the former Atomic Kitten star. 'I do not believe that he has one single feeling for Kerry,' Jessica told MailOnline. 'He only cares about fame, and he'll be happy he's now being put out there.' However, Paolo denied the claims, telling the publication: "I was never in a relationship with Jess. We only met up around five times. I was honest with her that I had been offered to go on a dating show and if it were to come fruition, I would take the opportunity. "I made it clear to Jess that we had to stop talking and seeing each other as I had been offered to go on the show. I have nothing bad to say about Jess she's a great girl." Kerry, 44, recently confirmed her romance with 33-year-old Paolo, a personal trainer, sharing public displays of affection just months after splitting from her ex-fiancé Ryan Mahoney. But Jessica alleges Paolo misled her throughout their relationship, even while appearing on the reality show. According to claims made by Jessica, Paolo told her he was in Ibiza for a stag weekend and later flying his children out to join him. In reality, he was reportedly filming the dating show with Kerry. 'He told me he was there for three weeks,' Jessica explained. 'He tried to convince me to fly out and see him. But it was all lies - he was filming the show with Kerry.' Jessica claims Paolo repeatedly told her his trips to London were business-related, even sending photos for proof. But she later learned he had been filming Celebs Go Dating during those visits. 'He lied to me the entire time we were together. It was horrendous,' she claimed. 'Every single thing was an act. I feel like I was completely led the entire time.' The relationship allegedly began when Paolo messaged Jessica on Instagram. They began seeing each other regularly, with Jessica staying at his home and believing their bond was serious. Jess claims Paolo even said he'd marry her. Jessica cliams she only found out the truth when Paolo finally confessed. 'I asked him, 'Do you expect me to sit at home and watch this and still be with you?' And he replied, 'I hope you will do that, but it's completely down to you.' I hysterically cried all day at work. Everything was a lie.' She also claims Paolo told her directly: 'It's nothing to do with love and it's only for the fame. I promise you, everyone goes on the show for fame, and I'm just doing the same.' Paolo, a father of two, reportedly told Jessica he had separated from his children's mother over a year ago and insisted he was only focused on co-parenting. In response to the allegations, Paolo told the Mail that he was never in a relationship with Jess and only met up around five times. He said he was honest with her and explained he had been offered the chance to appear on the dating show. He added that he made it clear to Jess that the pair had to stop speaking to one another and stop seeing one another. Kerry, who has appeared on Celebs Go Dating before, is returning to the show for a second time. The series also features Olivia Hawkins (Love Island) and Mark Labbett (The Chase). Katona's new relationship comes after the end of her six-year engagement to Ryan Mahoney last November. The mother-of-five has been married three times, including to Westlife's Brian McFadden and the late George Kay, who died in 2019. The Mirror has approached Kerry's representatives for comment on this story.
